FAQ
- Q: Where can I delete a Doodle calendar feed in my iPhone calendar?
- A: Manage your calendar feeds in the iPhone settings: "Settings" - "Mail, Contacts, Calendar"
- Q: When I tap ("click") on a doodle poll link (http://doodle.com/xyzabc123) on my iPhone (e.g. within the mail program), the application is not launched. Why?
- A: You are missing a cookie in Mobile Safari which will take care of this. To correct this in Doodle for iPhone, go to "Settings" and choose "Doodle links" and tap on the button named "Activate". Please be aware that this cookie is lost if you clean all cookies in the Safari settings (in that case, reactivate it again).
- Q: Help! The app says I need to authenticate my MyDoodle account. But it doesn't open the browser, it continuously asks me to authenticate, no matter what option I choose. I'm stuck in an endless loop and the app is not usable any more!
- A: Please ensure the following settings on your device:
- Device settings: time is set precisely
- Safari settings: "Accept cookies" is not set to "Never"
- Safari settings: "JavaScript" is set to ON
- Safari settings: "Private Browsing" is set to OFF
- Q: What is the iPhone app "Doodle for iPhone"?
- A: "Doodle for iPhone" is the official Doodle iPhone App. It is co-branded between Doodle AG and Neoos GmbH.
- Q: Why does the login into MyDoodle take place via the web browser? Why do I have to re-login into MyDoodle from time to time? Can't the iPhone app save my login credentials once and for all?
- A: For security purposes, authentication and authorization of the app (and the user) are implemented by using OAuth. Thus, the user's access credentials aren't stored on the device, which is a great plus for the user's security. The lifetime of a 'login' is currently set to a period of 3 months, meaning that users have to log in once every third month on average. We are working on increasing this lifetime, please stay tuned.
- Q: Why is there no integration with the iPhone Calendar application?
- A: Since iOS4 this is possible. An upcoming version of Doodle for iPhone will feature calendar integrations.
- Q: I don't see a poll I recently used (on my desktop computer) in my iPhone app dashboard, even though I'm a MyDoodle user.
- A: Polls are only related to your MyDoodle account if you create them whilst logged into your account (on the web). Since Version 1.1, the compatibility between the web and the iPhone app of such polls has been improved though
